In the afternoon, the sun sets.
Aunt Ma and the others were guarding the fork in the road leading to Shiqiao Village—wandering back and forth.
Lin'er said: Auntie, the troupe is about to start its performance, why haven't Shitou and the others come yet?
The aunt replied: You don’t want to wait any longer.
or! Let's go first.
Lin'er scratched her head and called out: "Let's wait a little longer."
The aunt said softly: Lin'er, you are not young anymore. There are some things I didn't want to say!
Lin'er said: Auntie, if I have anything to say, just say it.
The aunt smiled at Lin'er and said: Shitou is a married man. You can't have too many illusions about him. You are still studying now. You should focus on your studies. Don't think about it. Those illusory things!
"I didn't think so."
"You pretend, I'll tell your parents to go."
"You can sue if you want."
"I am also a person of your age..."
"So what!"
"Auntie, you and Sister Lin'er must have been waiting here for a long time!"
Lin'er smiled and said: Auntie, Sister Erfeng, Shitou, you are finally here.
Shitou responded: Sister Lin'er, let's go.
The aunt said: Ping'er, what are you doing at home? Our legs were numb from standing there.
Xu Hongping smiled and said: Sister Ju, I kept you waiting for a long time.
The aunt continued: "It hasn't been long, just an hour."
Shitou called out: Auntie, we made you wait here for more than an hour, and you will be on the street later!
The aunt responded: My old arms and legs can still hold on at this moment.
However, Lin'er...
"Sister Lin'er, what's wrong with you!" Shitou shouted:
"I'm fine." Lin'er replied:
"Lin'er, how much is a ticket to the theater?" Xu Hongping asked:
Lin'er then said: Two cents a piece.
Xu Hongping shouted: The ticket price is not bad and not particularly expensive.
"Auntie, look, the street is full of people." Lin'er pointed to the center of the street.
Shitou said excitedly: "Let's go there quickly."
Xu Hongping called out: What are you in a hurry for? The theater hasn't started yet.
The aunt smiled and said: Young people like to join in the fun!
"Mom, can you walk faster!" Erfeng whispered:
Xu Hongping quickened her pace and muttered: You little devils.
The aunt continued: I am not young!
"Sister Ju, let's buy some melon seeds while there is still a trace of light in the sky." Xu Hongping stepped into the street and shouted:
The aunt replied: Wow! Let's go there and buy it.
Xu Hongping said: Sister Ju, please go ahead.
At this time, the theater troupe opened the door and was selling tickets.
The theater fans shouted "Boom" and everyone rushed forward.
Lin'er grabbed Shitou's hand and called out: Shitou, let's go over and buy tickets. The tickets will be sold out later.
Shitou held Lin'er's hand and said: Let's rush.
Erfeng said with a straight face: "Stone."
Shitou broke away his hand and replied: Sister Lin'er, I didn't bring any money. You go over and buy the tickets yourself.
Lin'er continued: I have money, and I will cover all your tickets.
Erfeng replied: We have money, the money is with my mother!
Lin'er took Shitou's hand and shouted: Shitou, let's buy tickets.
Shitou pulled away his hand and said, "Sister Lin'er, go buy it yourself. I'll wait here for Aunt Tang to come back."
Lin'er glanced at the ticket booth and said anxiously: The tickets are almost sold out!
Shitou responded: How could it be so fast!
Lin'er frowned and said: Sister Erfeng, tell Shitou, the tickets are about to be sold out.
Erfeng shouted: I still say the same thing, you guys should stop tugging in front of me.
"Shitou, hurry up and get in line."
Shitou raised his head and replied: Okay!
"Sister Lin'er, give me the money, and I'll help you buy tickets together." Shitou trotted and shouted:
"Here are the stones." Lin'er handed over the ticket money and called:
As night fell, everyone entered the theater one after another.
Xu Hongping took the flashlight and shook it forward.
"Aunt Tang, give me the flashlight." Shitou shouted:
Xu Hongping handed over the flashlight and said: Isn’t it the same if I hold it!
Shi Shi took the flashlight and replied: I have my own uses.
He picked up the flashlight and kept shining it on the man collecting tickets.
The man shouted: Sir, why are you shining your light on my face? I still have to work!
Shitou stared at this man intently.
Xu Hongping looked at the stone without saying anything.
She pushed it with her hand and shouted: Stone.
Shitou said blankly: I'm sorry! sorry! Really sorry!
Erfeng asked: Shitou, what's wrong with you! Why do you feel like you have lost your soul?
Shitou replied: No, I didn't.
"Sir, please give me your ticket."
Shitou took out the ticket and asked: Boss, why haven't I seen your troupe?
The boss continued: Our troupe just arrived here today.
Shitou said: You are outsiders.
The boss shouted: Sir, do you know about the January 28th Incident?
Shitou replied: What is the January 28th Incident!
Lin'er pulled Shitou's clothes and muttered: This spring, it's time for the Japanese to attack Shanghai.
The boss said: This little brother, if you want to know more, we can chat afterwards and the performance is about to begin...
"Boss, I'll talk to you after watching the show." Shitou interrupted:
The man stretched out his hand and said, "Please, sir!"
Shitou walked into the theater and whispered: Aunt Tang, the person who collected the tickets just now looks so familiar to me, I seem to have seen him before!
Xu Hongping smiled and said: There are so many people in the world, and it is not surprising at all that there are one or two people who look alike.
Shitou said: Aunt, I'm not joking with you.
Xu Hongping said: I'm not kidding you either.
"These melon seeds are kidding you." The aunt held up the bag and said with a smile:
Xu Hongping said: Let's find a seat and sit down.
Lin'er pointed to the corner and called: There's an empty seat over there.
"Hey! Everyone, be quiet, the show is about to start." An uncle held up a big speaker and shouted:
Shitou looked at it: The uncle looked familiar.
The uncle continued: Let me introduce the composition and members of our group...
Lin'er said: What happened! It's very long-winded when I get on stage, but the performance hasn't even started yet.
Shitou turned his head and shouted: Sister Lin'er, don't make any noise.
The uncle shouted: The specific content will be explained by our group leader!
The group leader took the microphone and said: Hello uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters-in-law, and all compatriots! You may not know it yet! On January 28 of this year, the Japanese launched a massive attack on Shanghai. As a result, the compatriots in Shanghai - tender and tender from the war - some had their wives and children separated, some had both their parents dead, some were splattered with blood, and some... ·
It was miserable.
As a member of the Chinese nation, who wants to put their compatriots in dire straits? Who is willing to be bullied by foreign countries?
We can only stretch out our hands, work together and share the same hatred.
Our play in the evening was purely a charity performance, and all the funds generated by our group were sent to the front line to support the warriors who defend our country's territory.
My surname is Fang, from Jiangxi.
On behalf of our group, and on behalf of our compatriots who have suffered from the war, I say, "Thank you all!"
"Damn it, I gave you money, and you're still beeping, do you still want to act?" A loud voice came from outside the door.
The uncle looked over and said: Captain, that person!
Leader Fang handed the trumpet and muttered: One more thing is worse than one less thing. Go and ask the members to start the performance.
The uncle raised his horn and shouted: Let’s start the show.
The gongs and drums of the troupe were beating "dong dong", and the actors acted and sang.
Shitou stood up and shouted: Aunt Tang, I'm going to go.
Lin'er shouted: Shitou, where are you going! The play has begun.
Shitou replied: I'm going to the toilet.
Xu Hongping grabbed a melon seed and said: Go back quickly.
Shitou ran to the theater door and saw two figures at the door.
He slowed down and stepped gently out of the door.
"Brother, we did not handle things well tonight. My brother was so offended!"
"It doesn't matter if you offend me, just pay for it."
The conductor stepped forward and said: Brother, you want too much...
"It was our negligence tonight..." Captain Fang raised his hands and shouted:
The guest officer called out: This boss is sensible and polite. I'm in a good mood today. I didn't ask for a few pennies from you. In the past, if you didn't get twenty or thirty pennies, you wouldn't have even thought of walking out of here!
Captain Fang thanked him: Thank you, brother! Thanks man!
The conductor muttered: I am you——I.
The guest officer shined a flashlight on the conductor and said, "Speak louder."
Captain Fang said: Brother, he is tired from standing, he said!
The guest officer said: He said it himself.
The ticket seller whispered: I said, we are going to act.
The guest officer yelled: The play has already started, and you have delayed me for so long. I will be happy after watching it, and I will not care about you! If I don’t like it! I want you!
Captain Fang asked: Brother, please come in! We will definitely satisfy you.
"Officer, who are you?"
The bailiff picked up his flashlight and looked around.
When he shined at the door.
His whole face tensed up, and he bowed and said: Hello, little master! Hello little master!
Shitou replied: Every time I see you, my head hurts.
The bailiff lowered his head and shouted: "Young man is guilty!" The little one is guilty!
Shi Shi turned on the flashlight and saw the sweat on the bailiff's face - it kept dripping down.
He faced the conductor and asked: Uncle, what does this police officer want from you?
The ticket seller said: This guest, this police officer, wanted to go in and watch the show. He gave me a penny, but I didn’t let him in. I told him that our tickets were two pence a piece, one penny. Not even enough money to vote...
The bailiff immediately stood up and handed the ticket seller 10 silver bald heads.
The ticket seller was surprised and said: So much money!
The judicial police officer continued: The remaining money should be treated as a villain's small contribution to the revolution.
"Guest..." Captain Fang called:
"I'm going in to watch the show. I'm going in to watch the show." The bailiff tried his best to get in.
The ticket seller shouted: Sir, there are no seats inside.
The guest officer replied: I stand and watch.
"Stop."
The bailiff stopped and called out: "Any more orders!"
He (Police Officer Wang) came over in a hurry and said: Look carefully, don't let this crazy girl get away!
The bailiff turned his head and shouted: Brother.
Officer Wang replied: Brother Fa, you are here too.
The bailiff replied hesitantly: Brother, brother, the master is also here, here.
Officer Wang turned on his flashlight and called: Where is the young master!
The bailiff gestured and responded: "The door of the factory shed."
Officer Wang ran over and said politely: Hello, young master!
Shitou said: Hello, Officer Wang.
Officer Wang said to the followers behind him: "Hurry up and salute the little master!"
"Hello, young master!" Officer Wang's followers bowed:
Shitou called out: Officer Wang, you guys are coming here in groups, I’m afraid you’re not here to watch a show!
Officer Wang then said: The little master is right, the villain is here to find the little girl.
"Daddy, daddy, don't stop me from watching the show!" Min'er held the stone and shouted:
Officer Wang shouted: You are so presumptuous! This is the little master.
Min'er said: My little master will not stop me from watching the show.
Officer Wang said: Min'er!
Shitou continued: Your daughter's name is Min'er.
Officer Wang responded: She is my eldest daughter, her name is Wang Jiamin.
Shitou called out: Your daughter is very lively.
Officer Wang replied: She is too lively, all day long!
Min'er pushed the stone and shouted: Stone, let's go in and watch the show!
"Miss Min'er, we are not familiar with each other!" Shitou stopped and said:
Min'er said: Shitou, you don't recognize me. We met on the street some time ago.
"Brother, your name is Shitou?" Captain Fang looked at Shitou's face and asked:
Shitou responded: My name is Shitou.
Captain Fang asked: Brother, where are you from?
Shitou was stunned and asked: Where did Xu Ming go?
Captain Fang rushed to Shitou and said with a smile: Ha, ha~
Shitou said excitedly: You are Captain Fang.
Captain Fang replied: We haven’t seen you for a long time.
Shitou argued: We are destined to meet again.
Captain Fang hugged the stone tightly and laughed and said: Yes, yes, yes, we are destined.
Shitou asked: Commander Fang, why are you here?
Captain Fang replied: We actors have to run everywhere.
"Shitou, let's go in and watch the show quickly." Min'er shouted:
"Min'er, you have to shout: Master, you can't be too big or too small." Officer Wang lectured:
Shitou said: Min'er and I are the same age, she can be called whatever she wants!
Officer Wang bowed and said: Yes.
Captain Fang said: Shitou, you and them go in to watch the show, and we will have a night talk by candlelight tonight.
Shitou smiled and said: OK.
Min'er grabbed Shitou's hand and shouted: Shitou, hurry up and leave!
Officer Wang took out a certain amount of money and said softly: Smelly girl.
The bailiff called: Brother, let’s go in!
"Aunt Tang, was the show good?" Shitou walked up to Xu Hongping and asked:
Xu Hongping responded: Of course it looks good.
Lin'er said: Shitou, half of the play is already played!
"Two aunts, two beautiful sisters, hello!"
Erfeng glanced at it and said: You are not the one a few days ago...
"She is Min'er." Lin'er replied:
"Sister, not only is she knowledgeable, she also has an excellent memory." Min'er praised:
Lin'er shouted: Min'er, come over and sit down.
Erfeng shook his waist and saw Officer Wang standing motionless. Behind him was a group of people, including the judicial officer.
She instinctively leaned towards Xu Hongping.
Shitou seemed to understand the mystery and whispered: Sister Erfeng, there is no need to worry, they don't dare to cause trouble.
Min'er shouted: Just stand there and don't come over.
Suddenly, the scene became very quiet.
For a moment, Captain Fang raised his trumpet and thanked you: Thank you for raising funds for the warriors on the battlefield!
Because one of our group members accidentally twisted his foot.
So, I decided to end the charity performance tonight.
Please forgive me!
"What happened! I won't act anymore."
"I'm so sorry, so sorry."
"What's the point of being sorry! We want to watch a show."
After a while of noisy, there were fewer and fewer people in the theater.
Min'er shouted: "I came at an unlucky time. The performance was over as soon as I came in."
Shitou replied: Miss Miner, are you complaining...
"Who am I complaining about? I'm blaming myself!" Min'er replied:
Shitou continued: Just don't complain.
Captain Fang said: Police officers, we will repay your money in full...
"Captain Fang, if you don't think our offer is too small, just accept it." Officer Wang interrupted:
"We are embarrassed to accept the situation just now." Leader Fang responded:
Officer Wang said: For the sake of my little master, you have to accept it.
Captain Fang looked at the stone and said blankly: This!
Shitou shouted: Commander Fang, take it!
Captain Fang held the silver in his pocket and called out: Shitou, you can stay here and sleep with me tonight!
Xu Hongping shouted: Shitou, this one!
Shitou smiled and said: He is an old friend of mine. We have known each other since I was in my hometown.
Xu Hongping said politely: Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!
Shitou introduced: Captain Fang, this is my boss, and the person next to me is her daughter (his finger points to Erfeng).
Also, Auntie, Lin'er, they are all my friends.
Captain Fang bowed and said: Hello everyone!
Miner said angrily: Shitou, am I not your friend?
Shitou looked at Min'er and said with a smile: So what if it's not!
Officer Wang bowed and said: My daughter is 12 years old this year, she is too young...
"I'm not a few years older than her." Shitou said:
"How can she compete with the young master!" Officer Wang continued:
Shitou shouted: "Stand aside."
Xu Hongping shouted: Shitou, you stay here and talk slowly with Captain Fang while Erfeng and I go home.
Lin'er called: Aunt, let's go together.
Shitou said: Commander Fang, I will go with them.
Captain Fang said: You leave, we are here tonight!
Shitou replied: We will talk tomorrow.
Captain Fang argued: We have to leave tomorrow, and we have to perform somewhere else.
Shitou responded: So urgent!
Captain Fang commented: We are doing a charity performance and we want to raise more money for our brothers on the front line.
Officer Wang took two steps forward and asked: Captain Fang, how much money can you raise from a performance?
Captain Fang replied: It only costs a few dozen cents per game.
Officer Wang said: I will give you 50 yuan, can you come to my house and perform a show?
Captain Fang nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."
Miner jumped up and down and cheered: I can watch the show! I can watch a show!
Xu Hongping said: Captain Fang, you and your team members are welcome to visit my home.
Leader Fang responded: I will definitely go if I have the chance.
Xu Hongping moved and called: Commander Fang, let’s go first!
Shitou stepped forward and said: Captain Fang, we will see you tomorrow morning!
Captain Fang smiled and said: See you tomorrow morning!
Officer Wang waved his hand and shouted: Master, I will wait for you here tomorrow morning...
